Nikon is making waves at CES 2020 with the announcement of four new and cutting-edge products: the Nikon D780, the COOLPIX P950, the AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8 lens, and the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. These products bolster Nikon’s ever-growing imaging lineup for both DSLR and mirrorless creators.
Here’s a look at Nikon’s new product additions:
Nikon D780:
The Nikon D780 is one of the company’s most highly anticipated cameras. As the successor to the beloved D750, this new camera has big shoes to fill—and with 4K video, remote-free long exposures, precise autofocusing, and a 24.-5 megapixel sensor, it’s definitely up to par. A shutter speed up to 1/8000 second and silent shooting at 12 fps pair with a crisp 24 mp sensor to make this camera perfect for wildlife, sports, fashion, wedding and event photographers. Plus, 4K video, quick and accurate autofocus, and 120 fps slow-motion shooting make the Nikon D780 a must-have for filmmakers, too.
Here are some of the Nikon D780’s numerous highlights:

For a small, portable camera, the new Nikon COOLPIX P950 delivers incredible results.

And, for those times when you need to go even further, the Coolpix P950 extends up to 4,000mm. The camera’s built-in dual detect optical vibration reduction curbs image blur due to hand shake, making sure those far-away images are sharp and crisp.
The quick autofocus and continuous shooting (up to 10 frames at approximately 7 fps) bolster this portable camera even further.

The NIKKOR 120-300mm has the autofocus capabilities of a prime, with accurate subject tracking — even for the most erratically moving subject.
